mlabposition(0) msymbol(i)
In this example, we place the markers
in the center position using the
mlabposition(0)
option. We also
make the symbols invisible using the
msymbol(i)
option. Otherwise, the
markers and marker labels would be
atop each other.

Compass direction
A
compassdirstyle
is much like
clockpos
, but where a
clockpos
has 12 possible outer po-
sitions, like a clock, the
compassdirstyle
has only 9 possible outer positions, like the major
labels on a compass:
north
,
neast
,
east
,
seast
,
south
,
swest
,
west
,
nwest
,and
center
.
These can be abbreviated as
n
,
ne
,
e
,
se
,
s
,
sw
,
w
,
nw
,and
c
. Stata permits us to use
a
clockpos
even when a
compassdirstyle
is called for and makes intuitive translations; for
example,
12
is translated to
north
,or
2
is translated to
neast
. See [

compassdirstyle
for more information.
